(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control” is weeks old which in normal Internet time means it’s ancient but its effects still reverberate through Hip Hop. One MC who was absent from the “Control” responses Brooklyn rapper Fabolous, recently spoke with VladTV about his reaction to the verse, why he has yet to respond and more.

Speaking with Vlad, Fabolous attributed a conversation with an unknown O.G. and “some research” as to why he has yet to respond to Kendrick’s verse:

I almost jumped the gun, I’m not going to lie. I kind of had to feel it out. An O.G. also told me that if you do it do it on your time when it works for you. Don’t do it to try and feed the Twitter mentions.

Fab also said he’s done “more than think about responding” and hints that a response is coming in the future and possibly on his “next street single.”
